During my five years here at UW, I have observed behaviour that has both impressed me and made me think, “Some people’s kids…” I present to you the top five things which you should do and consider avoid doing that I have observed in my fourth year room over the past 11 months so you may have a peaceful and enjoyable fourth year room experience.
DO
- Listen to others and let them finish their sentence before cutting them off
- Hold the door open for a person walking ≤ five feet behind you
- Log off the computer when you are finished
- Put your trash and food crumbs in the garbage or recycling
- Refill the water in the Keurig if your coffee finishes it
DO NOT
- Play music in study spaces and then sing along (especially if you are off key)
- Read or watch a video with headphones on and burst out laughing loudly while others are studying
- Play Starcraft constantly while screaming like a girl and shouting to your teammate across the table, “Aaah, The Zergs are coming! I’m being canon-rushed! Help me! Aaah!”
- Scroll through every irritating ringtone on your phone to decide which you should use for the next 48 hours before you do it again
- Have intimate relations on the communal couches, or even joke about the things you’d like to do with your imaginary girlfriend if nobody else were in the 4th year room … This is a study space, not an on-call room in Gray’s Anatomy
